Different speaker colors, cosmetic replacement possible??
So long story short, I had a leaking seal on my convertible top and there was water getting into my trunk. The water shorted the amp, effectively bridging the wattage and it fried some of my speakers.
After a MASSIVE ordeal getting them replaced with BMW, I just noticed the speaker cones are different colors. This is going to drive me nuts! Do you think theres any recourse to get the rest of the speakers replaced because of this eyesore? Obviously the car is under warranty, but the "see through" speaker screens utilized in the M3 are arguably designed like that to show the speakers beneath. Now my car looks all mismatched with yellow and white/silver speaker cones. WTF? EDIT: see post 14 Last edited by ///M3THOD; 02-14-2013 at 07:36 AM.. |

Are you positive they installed the correct speakers? It's just a guess as I'd imagine there wouldn't be cosmetic difference in identical types of speakers.

could the colors on the speaker cones have changed (yellowed) with time? some speaker cones are paper,and that can happen to them. if so, it might even out over time.

I believe the speakers with yellow cones are the Enhanced Audio Speakers. I have these in my car. The black coned speakers are for the standard audio package. If you have the Enhanced Audio package then you are good to go. If not, then you got an upgrade though I am not sure how they would perform with the standard audio system.

I bet that you told the dealer that you got a Logic7 system and they bought it -which it is absurd as those speakers will not show up as replacements in the system under your VIN. |

You definitely have the wrong speakers on your car. They installed Logic 7 speakers in place of the EPS speakers. They should all be yellow for EPS speakers.
Logic 7 is not available for the M3 in the USA. The Enhanced Premium Sound is what you have. |

Thank you all for your input. Everyone is getting hung up on me mistakenly calling the speakers HK L7's.
The car was dropped off with speaker issues. Nothing more, nothing less. I pointed out which ones needed to be fixed. Quote:

Please see my options list: its listing my speakers as individual(?)
From my understanding Hifi<EPS<HK L7<Individual? Is it possible that I have had some people put EPS speakers back into my car mistakenly when I had audio problems previously this year.

The systems available are different for the regular 3 series so you can not apply that to the M3. M3 does not have L7 available. Get the white speakers (worng speaker) removed and have them install the right speaker (yellow). |
